Reputation

This is an ongoing and active thread talking about anything and everything to do with Reputation... (that little colored box next to your screen name). The original guide has grown with the contributions of some of our finest forum members...

These are the Basics: (EDIT: As of 9.23.2011 All regular forum members no longer will be able to give red rep, regardless of forum Rank/Title.)

Popular Questions:

Now here is some more in-depth information if you want to know everything there is to know about Rep. I would like to also Thank each individual who contributed, jorbaud, Lazzzzzzzzalicious!, Reasoner, WN1 Hit, Humility, and our much missed Evony Guru ~ Rota.

Who can give Red Rep, besides Evony Moderators/Staff?

Here's the link/quote Jorbaud was talking about... kindly retrieved from the underground Evony Vaults by Alusair's

It seems like Baronet+ can see who has given them rep.
Apperently there is a new sig limit/picture posting limit as well.
It's like a treasure hunt wooot!

The red rep is totaled by half of the rep you can give. ie. If Mr.JAW gives 10 green rep points to someone, if they choose to red rep you'll be able to deduct half of what you give, in this case, 5. You'll be able to take 5 rep points from them.

An in-depth look at how you get rep, how it changes, etc...

)If you have a positive total of rep points, then your bar is green.
)If you have 100+ points, you get a second bar.
)If you have 200+ points, get a third rep bar.
)Etc... You get one more bar every 100 points. So, a rep total of 500+ would show 6 rep bars

NOTE: This is true for the first 5 rep bars (which are a darker green) you get one w/your first green rep received and then one per 100 points received up to 400 points. (5 bars). Then you get one for ever 200 rep points received after that; up to a max of 11 bars displayed, though your points will continue to build even after that. (and will affect the reputation message you see when you scroll over someone's rep bar(s).

You get rep when other people see a post of yours they like, and they click on the scales in the upper right of the post to add to your rep. You can leave a little note when you click the scales if you want. I appreciate those notes, because I like to know who has repped me.

Now you ask, "How many points of rep do I get?" It depends on the person who repped you. Here is the scale that determines how many points you give to people when you rep them.

Your 50th post gives you the first point of rep you can give.
Every 1000 posts = 1 point of rep you give
Every 100 points of rep = 1 point of rep you give
Every year you are on the forums(anniversary date) = 1 point of rep you give

At the time of this post, I give 7 rep points.
1 for being past 50th post
4 for 4,000+ posts
2 for 200+ rep
0 for being a forum member for less than 1 year

All grey rep you get from players are 0 points. You can have hundreds o grey rep and they will still total zero.
Rep points are not retroactive. If I had 30 posts when I repped you many months ago to give you zero points, that rep bump is not worth 7 points now, it's worth zero.

How much rep do I need for my next "rep name"/green bar?:

How to check your Reputation Ranking vs. others:

1.Press community, the thing next to FAQ and near user CP.

2.Then click members list when the options come down.

3. Now the list is alphabetical, in one of the columns, there is reputation, click it.

4. Voila, the list of rep from highest to lowest.

This is remotely connected to Reputation, so I thought I would add it here... it is your forum title:

Knight: 15 posts
Make threads in most parts of the forum

Baronet: 50 posts and 1 month on the forums- lets you see who gave you rep
Baronet is 30 days and animated GIFs can be worn

Baron: 100 posts and 2 months on the forums
60 days and allows you to see who repped you.

Viscount: 200 posts and 3 months on the forums- polls can be made
90 days and your PM box is increased from 50 to 75

Earl: 350 posts and 4 months on forums
120 days and polls can me made

Marquis: 600 posts and 5 months on the forums
150 days never sure about this one but I think your sig text limit increases from 300 to 330 characters

a. You are grey, so you don't give any points. (not that it really matters)
b. Asking for rep is frowned upon and may even earn you some negative rep.
c. Rep should be earned so if you want it, lift the quality of your posting.
